Judge Announcement 📣
Introducing our final judge Sara Aspinall ✨
Sara is the Founder and Creative Director of Company of Strangers, based in Dunedin.
Company of Strangers is a brand built on timeless design and quality, all proudly made in New Zealand. Sara started the business in 2008 making leather goods and jewellery, and as a woman of many ideas, this quickly led to the development of garments and opening Company Store.
A lover of art and design in all forms, her collections are always inspired by her connections with her community of friends and family.
When she’s not designing, she’s hiding in the country - gardening, walking, and dreaming of the next adventure.
We’re thrilled to have Sara join our judging panel and can’t wait to see the perspective she brings to this year’s designs.
